The word “organic” refers to the agricultural methods that farmers use to cultivate fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. “Organic” practices are designed to conserve water and reduce environmental toxins and pollution. Not only do organic foods oftentimes taste better, they’re also a whole lot better for you – here are some reasons why...

Medical Mondays: How long does menopause typically last?
I am only 42, but I think I may be entering the early stages of menopause. I feel tired more often than usual and I’m also gaining weight in my mid-section. I’ve read that menopause can occur as early as a woman’s mid 30’s, but how long does menopause typically last?

A Brief History of Menopause
If you were to wind the clocks back about a few hundred years or so, you’d find that nobody really knew anything about hormones or the role they play in the human body. Early beliefs about women in Western society evolved from misconceptions about a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle and events leading up to the end of her reproductive years.

Three Major Steps for Stress Management
One of the main, important points for managing stress is: it’s not the stressor — not the thing that stresses you — but how do you deal with that stress — how do you respond to that stressor — that’s what’s most important. And then from there, it’s: what do you do to either decrease the stress in your life or manage the stress in your life? How do you accommodate how you respond to it?

Medical Mondays: How do I lower my triglycerides?
I had some lab work done last week and my doctor told me that my cholesterol and triglyeride levels were high. He prescribed me a statin drug to help control the cholesterol, but nothing for the triglycerides. My question is what changes can I make to my diet to help lower my triglycerides?

The Chronic Pain Conundrum
Chronic pain syndrome is an ill-defined catch-all phrase for people who hurt somewhere in their anatomy on a constant or irregular basis. Whether it’s fibromyalgia or recurrent episodes of acute back pain with sciatica the common denominator is that many of these folks have become dysfunctional in their daily lives as well

Different Stressors for Different People
I really need to point out is that it’s not the stressor. What one person finds stressful, another may not. It’s how the person reacts to that stress that matters. So, just because one woman has difficulty dealing with the long line at the grocery store doesn’t mean that she is not going to be able to deal with something more serious. It’s all about stress management.

There's No Magic Pill for Weight Loss!
I was on vacation last week and read in More Magazine about the increasing popularity of combo-pilling. Then, this morning I saw a segment on the Today Show with the editor-in-chief of More Magazine and Nancy Snyderman, MD discussing combo-pilling again. This is a down-right scary practice that is undertaken by many women in their desperate fight to get control of their weight. Patients are looking for combinations of different weight loss pills to try to mimic the effects of the drug combination Phen-fen (Phentermine-Fenfluramine). Phen- fen was a very successful combination of weight loss pills that did lead to more weight loss than either pill alone, but Fenfluramine was ultimately taken off the market because of an increase in fatal pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart problems. Phentermine has not been shown to have harmful effects and is still on the market. Unfortunately for women, Phentermine doesn’t work as well by itself.
